Hey All,
So I have been trying forever to find a decent actuator method that will fit in small, awkward spaces for a company project that I am working on.
So far I have looked into linear servos, stepper motors, dc motors, pneumatic cylinders/soft actuators and hydraulics and I have some Nitinol current activated "muscle wire" coming in the post for me to try.
I have had no luck so far as the company's requirements are pretty unrealistic, my question, before I label this unfeasible is:
Does anyone know of any alternative actuator types that I haven't mentioned yet?
I don't want to give up, so I want to try all possibilities before I do.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
